Cockroaches can wreak havoc on your home. To win the war against cockroaches, here's what you should know:

Entry:
Cockroaches can enter your home in many different ways, from the outside through cracks and crevices, vents, sewer and drain pipes, even in grocery bags. 

Ideal environment:
Your home is an ideal breeding ground. With plenty of food, warmth, water and nesting sites, they can remain active all year round. 

Reproduction:
Cockroaches reproduce quickly. For every one you see there can be 200 more hiding and multiplying behind your walls. 

Evasiveness:
Because cockroaches are nocturnal, if you've seen one, you haven't seen them all. The few cockroaches you see by day were likely forced out by overcrowding; a possible sign of severe infestation. 

Allergies:
The dust created by cast-off cockroach skins, dead bodies and droppings can aggravate allergies, especially in sensitive individuals. 

Do-it-yourself ineffectiveness:

Cockroaches are better at hiding than you are at finding them, and their eggs are naturally protected from insecticides. Without special equipment, materials and know-how, it can be a losing battle.
